The goal of Arise Roots is to create a fresh reggae sound with a modernfeel that appeals to all ages and races, but one that doesn’tcompromise the true feel of roots reggae. Anybody who has had theopportunity to witness the band play a live show understands thepowerful sound and positive vibrations that they produce.

“Moving Forward” was recorded at top Los Angeles studio KingsizeSoundlabs with the help of veteran sound engineers Brian Dixon andRichard Robinson. With a solid foundation of sound, Brian Wallace wasbrought in to master the album and add all the ﬁnishing touches.Always paying homage to past reggae legends, the album MovingForward brings to mind the infuences of Black Uhuru, Dennis Brown,Bob Marley and The Wailers, Israel Vibrations, Alton Ellis and GregoryIsaacs. From a broader view, “Moving Forward” is an album for thepeople that creates consciousness with a modern edge, yet grounded intraditional roots.
